Recom REM2 Series: 2W DC/DC Converters Fully Certified for Medical Applications

The latest Recom REM2 series delivers modular 2‑Watt DC/DC converters that meet the highest standards for medical equipment. Packaged in a compact SIP8 footprint (23.0×8.0×12.2 mm), these units give designers the flexibility to choose from a wide range of input voltages, common output voltages, and single‑ or dual‑output configurations, all sourced through Rutronik UK.

Key performance highlights:

• Robust isolation: 5.2 kVDC for 1 minute and 2 MOPP at 250 VAC to 5.000 m, ensuring patient safety.
• Input range: 3.3 V to 24 VDC.
• Output options: ±3.3 V to ±12 VDC, with a 20 MHz bandwidth and a maximum ripple of 150 mVp‑p.
• Efficiency: Up to 85 % at full load, without derating in the –40 °C to +80 °C operating window. At 50 % load the module remains reliable up to +95 °C.
• Reliability: MTBF of 12,900 × 10³ h at +25 °C and 5,300 × 10³ h at +80 °C.

The REM2 modules comply with Class A/B EMC, 60601‑1‑2 (4th ed.) medical EMC with a simple external LC filter, and are certified to CB, IEC/EN, and ANSI/AAMI 60601‑1 (3rd ed.) medical safety standards. Each unit comes with a five‑year warranty, underscoring Recom’s commitment to quality and safety.
